Amazing Race 9 Hotel Report: Manics in Munich
March 22, 2006 at 8:49 AM | 0 Comments
We had a premonition that the Amazing Racers would end up in Germany and we were right. (Ok, we got a hint from the previews.)
After some scary trips on the Autobahn and finding the Roaming Gnome, the mad contestants ended up in Munich, near the Siegestor a structure akin to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris that divides the two Munich districts of Maxvorstadt and Schwabing.
If you can read German, check out the Am Siegestor Pensione. If you can't, The Bayerischer Hof Hotel has the option of English.
A luxury hotel which first opened in 1841, the Bayerischer's 395 rooms come with hi-speed internet access, Sony playstations and PayTV. For the American missing the motherland too much, inside is a Trader Vic's restaurant.
Tablet Hotels mentions some of the rooms are decorated with Laura Ashley, "festooned with floral prints and chintz." Ewww. But the hotel recovers from this poor design choice with a rooftop pool area that includes the Blue Spa. We imagine that the Ambiguously Gay Duo aka Jeremy and Erik would probably hit this up first in their fun-colored bathing suits.
As always our nerdy but talented brother, Jaunted has the latest additions to the Chasing Racers map.
